Yoseob’s POV

[During rehearsal]

“Wow. She looked so charismatic on stage. I’ve never realized it. This is the first time I’ve watched her live performance so up-close.” I gasped.

“YANG YOSEOB! WHY ARE YOU NOT ENTERING? YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GO OUT NOW!!!!”

Suddenly, I saw all the crew gesturing and shouting at me. Then I realized I was in deep trouble. Another scolding from PD-nim again later ):

“Oh, I’m really sorry. Sorry!” *runs into center stage to continue rehearsal*

[After rehearsal, in the waiting room]

“Oppa, are you okay?” IU asked worriedly.

“Yeah, why would I not be okay? Thanks for your concern anyway”

“No problem” I saw her frown break into a smile.

“Hey IU, can I call you Ji Eun instead? And you call me Seobbie oppa. Pretty please?” Okay. My puppy eyes would be very useful at a timing like this.

“Hmm.. If you really want to..”

“YAYYYYYYYYY! THANKS!”

“It’s nothing. Why are you so happy just because of that, oppa?” She looked at me like I was a weirdo.

I didn’t like it.

“Please prepare to go on stage!” Just when I had a feeling it was starting to get awkward here, a crew member called out for us.

Both: “Yes, coming!”

MC: “Cute guy and girl’s special stage; IU, Marshmallow!”  

Music starts playing 

IU: [solo singing]

Crazy fangirls started screaming and yelling when I went out to join her. 

Intro into 2nd verse 

 We were supposed to lean against each other back to back. Another failure! It failed during rehearsal too, sad to say.. ):

I’m doing the ‘Mystery’ head spin.. Is she looking? Do I look cool? Most importantly, did she seem impressed with it??? 

The whole song went past quickly and smoothly. Well, time flies when you’re enjoying what you’re doing right? (:

Music ends

“January 1, 2010. Sunny.

Dear diary,

                  HAPPY NEW YEAR! :DDDD

Today is truly the best day of my life. What a good way to start of a new year.. Forget about the previous ‘best days’ I told you about! Best stage ever on Music Bank. I so love MB~ Our skin ship was so natural and I placed my hands on her shoulder twice. Awesome or what!?

I really liked dancing so near to her. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, instead of being nervous. It was shocking too. Cos she really had a lot of fanboys. I could hear them clearly even when I was on stage, with the loud music playing :O”
